Resprouter
Plants able to survive fire by resprouting
Resprouters are plant species that are adapted to survive fire by the activation of dormant vegetative buds to produce regrowth.
Plants may resprout from a bud bank that can be located in different places, including in the trunk or major branches (epicormic shoots) or in belowground structures like lignotubers, bulbs, and other structures.
Resprouters characterize chaparral, fynbos, kwongan, savanna and other landscapes that experience periodic fires.

Why this record matters
The phrase “plants able to survive fire by resprouting” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 24, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7316016. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
